LA Galaxy captain Robbie Keane suggests Steven Gerrard is not coming to MLS for a vacation.

The Liverpool legend is set to join the reigning MLS champions in July and former Reds teammate Keane knows the veteran midfielder will be seeking success in the US.

"Like I said before, I never came here for a holiday. I came here to win things. Some players [do come for a holiday], but Stevie is not one of those players," said Keane.

"He's a winner, he's a born winner, he likes to win things.

"People like Steven Gerrard, they're the players we want in this team, in this organization. They're the winner. They're the players who want to win, who want to still achieve regardless of what they've achieved in their career.

"Whether they won trophies, [UEFA] Champions League, he still wants to win things. He has the hunger to play, the hunger to try, and that's the same as me."
